Great Location and Stunning View

The location of the property was perfect. The view from the balcony is breathtaking. The communication with the owner was outstanding. She replied promptly and addressed concerns immediately. The condo was nice and the kitchen had and utensil you might need on hand. The building, the Golden Sands, could use some updating. One of the ladies who worked at the reservation desk was an absolute doll. The only suggestion that I could make would be to add an inside door lock or swing bar lock. Maintenance has access to the property and nothing prevents them from entering regardless if someone may be napping, showering, etc.

Perfect Place for a Family W/ Young Kids

Overall a wonderful experience! Condo was more than big enough for the four of us. Absolutely cannot beat that view from the balcony. Check in day was a little chaotic but the Golden Sands had extra help on duty to make it smoother. Tiki Bar is fabulous! Entertainment most nights on the patio was very cool. Only minor complaint was that they seemed to close the outdoor pool prematurely for bad weather that never came.

Perfect for our family!

This is our first time staying in this condo but not our first in Golden Sands and this condo is by far our favorite! The condo itself was so clean and had everything we needed and wanted. The pictures do not do it justice on how adorable it is! The bedrooms are large and the layout gave us the space we needed! Cathy was so great to work with and very quick to respond. As far as the issues with the slowness of the elevators, you will have that in any high rise condo. We have stayed on multiple floors and I think staying on the 20th provided an easier experience with the elevators. When staying in lower levels, many times the elevator would be full by the time it got to us and we would have to wait. We didn’t find any issues at all this time.

Golden Sands for the Win

The condo was clean, nicely furnished, with up to date appliances & plenty of room to relax. Golden Sands has everything you need for a great vacation - the ocean at your door, tiki bar & grill, 2 pools, live music, game rooms, & shops. We highly recommend this unit & its generous owners.

Very Nice Unit, Elevator Disaster

Our rental unit was very nice, fully equipped, comfortable. But the elevator service was beyond horrible and the Wi-Fi was terrible. I’d stay in the same u it if it was in a different building.

Great Condo, Perfect Hosts

It was like staying at a generous friend's well kept and perfectly located home. Cathy has info posted about local restaurants & the property. Golden Sands is a complete resort -- food, entertainment, shops, pools, & a bar on site. There was a slight glitch with an appliance when we checked in but one call to Cathy & Nick & it was taken care of in minutes. Maybe I should say less -- I'd like to keep this gem all to myself 😉😊

Golden Sands is the best place to stay

3rd year at Golden Sands, first time in this condo. Overall in great condition, carpet felt new, everything clean, and of course the views from the 20th floor are great. Had a few questions along the way and the owner was very responsive. Be sure to ask for linen rental recommendation, made it very easy. If you happen to have a rainy day/night, there are games and puzzles in the second bedroom closet. Will try to book this condo again the next time we go to Ocean City!

Beach, Food and Family

Our condo was just about perfect for my wife and I and our three adult children. I would say it would be ideal for four adults or a family of with up to four smaller children. The owner was helpful (via internet) to get us situated. The rooms were very well furnished and maintained with excellent view of the ocean. Everything worked (even used the waffle iron one morning). We loved sitting on the ocean-front deck and enjoying food/drinks from the Tiki Bar. The mini-market on site had limited hours but saved grocery trips. We were near dozens of excellent places to eat, but you should plan on driving unless you really enjoy long walks. Parking for our car was on the ground level and included in price, but it was a bit pricey to keep my son's car on site, too.

LOVELY CONDO

Condo 2006 at Golden Sands was a lovely place to stay for our week vacation on Ocean City. The condo was clean and fully stocked with everything needed and the owner was very nice to work with. The only negative is more about the building than the condo, but Golden Sands really needs to work on their parking problems. Only one reserved spot and others kept parking there. We were told we could pay for additional parking but then were told there were no spots available while many spots were empty all week.

Vacation 2020

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this gorgeous condo. The pictures don’t do it justice. The condo is so beautifully decorated and more spacious than we anticipated. The kids bedroom was situated back from the main living area. My young teenagers liked having their own space. It was like their own little “apartment”. My only complaint is the smoke detector started chirping in middle of night so we had to unplug it to get some sleep. That was our only issue. The views are spectacular. I was worried about staying on the 20th floor during the pandemic but the elevators move super fast. We did not wait long at all for elevators so we’re able to get down to the beach quickly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful condo and would love to come back! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Great vacation even with Covid restrictions!

Our unit was on the 20th Floor. Beautiful view of ocean. Very clean unit. Golden Sands is a very nice Condo complex, it had many limitation due to covid. The shops and the pools, could not be fully opened due to staffing issues and social distancing rules. This would be an awesome place if it was all fully up and running. No fault of the facility. It was very clean and workers were friendly. short walk to beach!! We made the best of everything.. Excellent stay.
